“I want to make people feel something”

“I want to disturb people’s oblivion; like I’ve pointed out before, I want to make people feel something. It’s easier to turn to the sport channels when news about the war comes up. It’s easy to talk about how depressed we are as a rich nation, and we do this even though 1.4 billion people live at the poverty line or below. Many of us in the West live in a bubble, but I still believe we can shake people up from their daily routines.” - Izabella Demavlys in a conversation with Paul Schmelzer
